British Museum

Museum entrance.
Seth is holding a 2,000 year old axe head.  He is at a hands-on post where museum staff offered items from the museum for you to hold and handle.  Also at this table was a 4,000 axe head.  The staff asked Seth interesting questions and told us lots of facts about the items.  At hands-on stations we also handled an ornate necklace that Seth guessed was worn by a king but was actually for a donkey.  There was also a Japanese toggle for a kimono pocket that was carved into the shape of a mouse.
Here is some ancient Japanese samurai armour. Every step of the way Seth was the most interested in the weaponry and armour.
Here is Seth with a crystal skull.
